Finally Free

Forty-Two

"Hey," I say making myself known as I walk into the room with Mike, Garrett, Beth, and Harry. I wasn't expecting them here.

"Hey Bean," Harry says hugging me

"I need a piss break. Take 10?" Mike asks standing up. Garrett nods and then Mike walks out of the room.

"I don't like that guy," Garrett says once Mike is gone

"Why?" Beth asks

"He spent the whole time I have been sitting here talking about his wide variety of girls he is currently sleeping with, his baby mama, his baby mama to be, and then talking about how much he wants to fuck Kasey. Excuse me, Kassie, since he refuses to call Kasey by her real name or even Kase." Garrett tells us "I hate that he has to finish this," he tells me and I nod

"It is looking really good though dude," Harry says

"Thanks but I can't take credit for any of this. Kasey thought of the idea and sketched everything out for me. You should have her show you the final sketch it is fucking amazing" Garrett says standing up and stretching

"Speaking of her. KASEY ELIZABETH WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DID YOU GET A FUCKING TATTOO?" Harry roars

"I guess that answers if you told him or not" Garrett laughs awkwardly "I am going to go to the bathroom I'll be back" he adds heading out of the room

"You can't be mad. I am old enough to do this. I paid for it. It is my favorite quote from my favorite movie with my favorite character, written in my mom's handwriting who is hands down my favorite person." I say grabbing my phone to text Garrett

To: Garrett🥰 - How long have they been here?!

To: Garrett🥰 - I am so sorry about them and whatever they said to you

"I am mad at you because you decided to just not think of the health risks. You made another impulsive decision. Again. And then I have to help fix your mistakes" Harry tells me and I instantly get pissed off.

"What the fuck do you mean?"

"I mean you make impulsive decisions and don't think about the consequences. You broke up with Colin and then let him into your apartment without thinking about what he might do. You went on Tinder and started dating one of the first guys you matched with. You went to meet the guy at his college campus over 2 hours away. You decided to stay with him for a week at his campus after not meeting him. Then you decided to transfer to his college not even thinking about what will happen when you break up. And to top it all off you decided to get a tattoo knowing that you are already immune-compromised and that your blood sugar is not stable." Harry rants and I sit there trying not to cry

"Where should I start? Let's see, I am a 4.0 student. I have 2 bachelors degrees, 3 degrees in progress. I have never done anything bad in my life. The worst thing was drink and almost every single time I did that you were there. I talked to Garrett for like a week and a half before I went to see him first of all and second, we went to the same high school and graduated together." I start as Garrett walks back into the little room "I didn't let Colin into my apartment, my roommates did. If it was up to me I would have never seen him again in my life. I especially don't want to see him again now but you decided to fucking press charges. And the reason I want to transfer schools is that I don't feel safe at Vanderbilt. I don't like having the thought that Colin might just show up on my campus." I list off

"Kasey maybe-" Beth starts but I cut her off

"Oh yeah. You can't say that I make impulsive decisions and don't think about the consequences when you literally got a girl pregnant and then proposed to her once you found out." I say glaring at both of them
